l IMPRQVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,295, dated October 15,1872.'

following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side. view of my improved plow, the land- Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal section of the same taken through the line a: a', Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is aside view of the land-side. Fig. 5 is a top view of the plowpoint. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective View of the under side of the plow-point.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved plow which -shall be so constructed that its parts may be conveniently put together, and when put together will be securely held; and it consists in the constructionv and combination of various parts of the plow, as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the mold-board of the plow, which is cast in one piece with the standard B, by which-the plow is secured to the plowbeam. The lower part of the standard B is recessed to receive the forward end of the lines in Fig. 1. The forward part of the landside C is secured to the lower part of the standard B by a bolt, D, which passes through a hole in the said land-side, and through a slot in the said standard, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. l. Upon the inner side of the middle part of the land-side C is cast an upwardly projecting hook, E, which hooks over a brace, F,

which crosses the angle between the moldboard A and standard B, and is cast solid with said mold-board and standard.

By this construction a simple, convenient, eective, and reliable lock is formed for securing the land-side to its place. Upon the inner side of the rear part of the land-side is cast a seat, G, for the lower end of the handle which is secured in place by a bolt, as indicated by the bolt-hole in said land-side. H is the plow-point which lits upon and is secured to the forward edge of the mold-board A. The entire plow is thus cast in three pieces, which may be quickly put together and secured to each other.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The hook E, cast solid upon the land-side G, and the brace F cast solid upon the moldboard A, and standard B, in connection with each other, for securing the said land-side in place, substantially as herein shown and described.
